    Evening all, a bit more done this evening - I have constructed the rear cages including some bling for their bottoms, delicate plastic work but not as much so due to the scale. OC.

    Morning all, no work progress as life required my attention (well tv actually lol) but I have been doing some research into the visual differences between the base M1 and the latest M1A1/ M1A2, and apart from the additional fittings the Two main Turret changes are - the front turret faces received some extra armour of around 150mm thick - extending the physical length of the turret, and the rear edge of the turret was sloped in the M1 and straight/flat in the M1A1/M1A2. Here are a few diagrams off the net that show the difference - OC.

    I did a bit of research regarding the European temp colour the M1 now wears, and my understanding is the single colour Green colour is called Bronze Green, its painted in Europe then pressure washed off when back in the States. This is a pic of am M1 in Europe with the Bronze Green paint applied and the Vallejo Acrylic paint. Pics of the net. OC.

    Beacuse of the delicate nature of the self sticky viewing block pieces, I will not be masking them in case they pull the coloured papers off, I will be hand painting the cupula assembly/FLIR/CITV and drivers hatch as they will be easier to hand paint and put on when the main turret is sprayed. OC.

    Kevin (just showing my ignorance with card building) would it help to strengthen the card during the build to brush over the parts/sections etc some watered down PVA - just wondered if that would strengthen the card? OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Looking really nice. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Eveing all, some more progress - I over fitted a few more vison blocks with the stick on "thingys" and fitted the cupula vision blocks and fitted the stick on pieces, I also fitted the top and hatch. OC.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
